Hot takes you would defend like Brandon Marshall

[inndaskKy]

They should be paid more cause female tennis draws in more money than male tennis. Same thing I say for the NBA vs WNBA debate. It's not as complicated as people try to make it.

This isn't true. Don't go full Brandon Marshall now...

Ronaldo has more hangtime than MJ

This reminds me of one: Brazilian Ronaldo > Portuguese Ronaldo and it's not even close.

Dream would have still won atleast one ring even if Jordan never retired.

Lewis>Tyson

Fukk Ohio State, that WAST'T PI. Canes should be back to back champs.

Jordan displayed why he's the GOAT down 3 in the last 40 secs of game six in the NBA Finals.

Kobe likely retires with 7 rings if he and Shaq never had that blow up.

Fuk rings, fukk stats. Marino is easily a top five QB ever. I know what I saw.

Don't ever say this out in public.


Wait

You serious?

If I had 10 lebrons and you had 10 Jordans and we played to 10, 10 times, I would beat you 10 - 0 10 times in a row

If you have 10 LeBrons, he has no one to pass it to with the game on the line

Game would never "be on the line" cause its not like MJ will ever be able to score over Lebron in the first place

Well we know LeBron doesn't guard the other team's best player so I guess MJ wouldn't need to score over LeBron. He'd just have the open lay-up every time.

Matthew Stafford is pound for pound top ten ever

Kill yourself

 

[Bboystyle]

If they had challenges back in 1998 NFL season, Jerry Rice's fumble would of been called and Packers would of most likely reach the SB and rematched the Broncos instead of wack ass ATL.

I dont know if I would get that angry about it.

But ...

Dez caught it.

Yeah bruh... Dez caught that shyt.

‘97 Knicks would’ve won it all if they didn’t have all those suspensions against Miami

Out of all those 90s losses, this one might be the one that hurts the most. I think even more than the Finals losses because I felt that 97 team really had it all and could've given us the best Bulls-Knicks series. Not betting against MJ, but I would've liked our chances.

Lebron threw the 2011 finals against Dallas.

He knew if he played even subpar, Wade wins the Finals MVP.

If that happened, picking order of the NBA GOATs changes drastically.

It was a business decision.

That makes it even worse.

If Sabonis comes to the NBA healthy when Portland drafted him in '86, the Drexler-Porter-Kersey-Buck-Sabonis Blazers are a dynasty that wins at least 2-3 titles and changes the direction of the 1990s

All facts. A lot of people still don't understand how dominant and complete a bball player Sabonis was. He comes in early and healthy you're looking at a 20/25-10 guy for multiple years, and a great passer.

I've also always thought that if Brandon Roy and Greg Oden both stay healthy the Blazers would've been at the top of the WCF for years and battling the Lakers for supremacy. And if Bynum keeps his head straight/doesn't get injured, the overall switch away from big men happens much later.

Not to mention that he'd be replacing the weakest link in the Blazer lineup. Duckworth averaged 9 and 7 on 43% shooting in the 1992 Finals with no defense. Replace him with Sabonis and you have a MASSIVE upgrade in every facet of the game, you have a go-to scoring option late when Drexler and the other Blazers start feeling the pressure and can't hit a shot for shyt, and you can play a lot more Cliff Robinson at the 4 instead of Buck Williams because you don't need Buck's rebounding anymore.

And the Bulls had a weakness at the 5 but the Lakers, Blazers, Suns didn't have the center to exploit it. How the fukk would they have countered an athletic 7'3" 290lb Sabonis with top-level offensive skills?

Considering the Blazers nearly took Game 6 from Chicago with that Buck/Duck frontcourt, just imagine how dominant they would have been with Sabonis there instead.

If I had 10 Shaqs and 10 Hakeems then the Hakeems would win 10 times out of 10. So clearly Hakeem had a greater career than Shaq

That's just a dumb analogy.


You can argue all you want but aint no way in hell MJ taking an L to Dirk like Lebro did. He's not trowing in the towel like Lebron did against KG and the Celtics that year either. And you dam well know it.

Just because you like Lebron better doesn't mean he has had a better career than Jordan. It's ok man let it go.

Man didn't even think about it like that. shyt makes me sad tbh. As a selfish fan I just hate the fact we've missed out on so much greatness over the years to injuries. At least with Rose, Hill, T-Mac and them we got a glimpse of what they could achieve at the highest level. With Sabonis we didn't even get that, and he still had a pretty good short career after all those injuries.

I remember Knicks split the season series, but won the last two. One in MSG where Ewing dunked over Rodman before the half and the second one in the last game of the regular season in Chicago where Bulls were going for back to back 70 win seasons so they didn’t rest anyone. That last game had me convinced this was finally the team to beat the Bulls. No longer was it Ewing and hoping Starks had a good game, but Allan Houston and LJ were there now to provide much needed secondary scoring. Then the BS suspensions happened Then after that what hurt me even more was watching the Bulls kick the Heat’s ass knowing the Knicks would’ve put up a better fight.

Sabonis was so fun to watch on the Jailblazers and he was a shell of himself at that point. Such a shame.
